When shipping from Jeddah to Callao, be mindful of the Indian Ocean cyclone season (April-June and October-December), and allow for extra buffer days to absorb potential delays. During Ramadan and Eid al Fitr (late March–late April), expect reduced operational hours and plan for additional buffer time. Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and coordinate with carriers to mitigate congestion risks at ports.

Preparing cars for international shipping Requires Thorough cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is tight and protected. Logistics providers recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required vehicle and customs documentation before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside Autos depend on the transport company and lane. Many international carriers Prohibit household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers Permit limited items if they are below window level and securely fastened. Most experts recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often outside normal liability, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for Autos, specialists recommend starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using Desiccant packs inside the Vehicle, applying rust-inhibiting sprays to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing sealed equipment wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually restricted and may not reflect the true value of your Car. We recommend purchasing comprehensive cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are explicitly insured.
For international Auto transport, you typically need the original title or registration, a Commercial invoice or bill of sale, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require Emissions or safety compliance documents. Customs specialists recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Required documentation includes the vehicle's original title, bill of lading, commercial invoice, and a completed customs declaration form. Additional documentation may be necessary based on specific customs regulations in Peru.
Handling considerations include ensuring that vehicles are properly secured in containers to prevent movement during transit, draining fuel to comply with safety regulations, and inspecting the vehicles for any pre-existing damage before shipping.
